About Destino Europe
A team on both sides of your move.
Destino Europe brings together a team in the United States and Spain (including people who have made the leap themselves) to help Americans turn the idea of living in Spain into a life that feels like their own.
From helping people experience Spain to helping them make it home.
For the past 11 years, Karin Eckhard has led Espíritu Travel, helping American travelers experience Spain with the support of people who know the country from the inside.
Over time, a different kind of question began to emerge: what if Spain wasn't just somewhere to visit, but somewhere to live? Destino Europe is the natural continuation of that experience.
Karin also knows personally what it means to make the leap and build a life somewhere new. That perspective shapes how Destino Europe works: practical support when you need it, honest guidance when decisions matter, and real people who understand that moving country is about much more than paperwork.
The experience, knowledge and relationships built through Espíritu Travel now support the next chapter: helping people make Spain home.
A team on both sides of the move.
Our U.S. team understands the questions and decisions that come before the move.
Our team in Spain knows what happens once you arrive: how everyday life works, what different places really feel like, and which people or specialists to involve when you need help.
Together, we connect both sides of the experience.
Become a local, your way.
Free. No obligation.
Moving to Spain isn't about adopting someone else's idea of the perfect life. Our local team helps you understand the possibilities, discover the places that fit you, and learn how everyday life really works.
We can show you more than the obvious Spain: the neighborhoods, routines, places and details that gradually turn somewhere new into somewhere familiar.
The goal isn't to turn you into someone else. It's to help Spain start feeling like home, on your terms.
